Wandering the paths of my ancestors

Tag Archives: Revolutionary War

Benjamin F. Sublett (my 5th great-grandfather) fought in the Revolutionary war. He rose to the rank of Sergeant. After the war, the government awarded him 200 acres in what is called a “Land Office Military Warrant”. His family moved from Virginia to Bowling Green, Kentucky. There is some speculation that his muster rolls list him at Valley Forge, but I have not seen the documents. The first document has his will and some other information on him. The second document is the warrant gifting him the acreage.
